I am new to this site and would appreciate it if someone could tell me where I can find the Shipping Records for May 1901. Unfortunately the information displayed on the www.angloboerwar.com site jumps from April 01 to June 01 and I am trying to validate the information I have which shows that my grand-father sailed from Cape Town on 15 May on the Avondale Castle.
Any help would be appreciated. Tks.

Hello,
The actual passenger lists for inbound British registered ships for the period in question have survived and are to be found at the TNA Kew, they are in rather magnificent bound volumes in BT26 and most are available on line too.
